Bitter VacationMrs. GREEN APPLE
Mrs.
GREEN APPLE, who can fairly be called the reigning champions of the Reiwa-era J-POP charts.
Every song they release becomes a hit, they boast an overwhelming number of listeners, and they’re wildly popular at karaoke.
That said, given their exceptional songwriting sense, meticulously crafted ensemble, and melodies spanning a wide vocal range delivered by Mr.
Omori’s incredible vocals, it’s honestly not easy to sing their songs well.
With that in mind, Bitter Vacation, released in November 2024, falls into the relatively easy-to-sing category.
Its lyrics—also serving as the theme song for the film Saint Young Men THE MOVIE: Holy Men vs.
the Demon Army—are highly relatable and are sure to get the crowd going at karaoke.
Just be aware that there’s a brief section of irregular meter in the middle, but once you’ve got the overall flow down, you’ll be able to sing it smoothly.
Release exerciseAmenbo Plus
Since starting their activities in 2018, Amenbo Plus surpassed 1.
5 million subscribers on their official YouTube channel in 2023 and are currently thriving as hugely popular comedy YouTubers.
Their track “Kaihou Exercise,” released in 2023, was written and composed by Chibanyan, who is active as a DJ and producer.
Packed with baseball-themed jokes, it’s a fun, humor-filled song.
There’s nothing particularly difficult about singing it at karaoke, so go all-in—loose choreography and all—and get everyone who came to karaoke to join in the fun!
Yes, with pleasure.Kent on this side
Hai Yorokonde, which was also performed at the 75th NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen and went mega-viral in 2024, is the smash hit that propelled multi-creator Kocchi no Kento to nationwide fame.
While calling it a “gag” might not be quite right since the song is based on the artist’s own experiences with bipolar disorder, its playful touches—like the dance in the MV that blew up on social media and lyrics modeled after Morse code—keep it from feeling heavy and instead make it an upbeat, feel-good track.
That sense of balance is wonderful, isn’t it? It’s great to sing solo or with friends—be sure to fire it up at karaoke!

Brain Narcotics Remix feat. CHEHON, MAKA, Ku-Jun, POWER WAVE, CIMA & keithRAY
The track “Nounai Mayaku Remix feat.
CHEHON, MAKA, Kujun, POWER WAVE, CIMA & keith” is currently blowing up in the hip-hop and reggae scenes.
Born from DJ RAY’s entry into the battle scene, it features verses that transcend the boundaries between hip-hop and reggae.
The hook in this piece has a very narrow vocal range by RAY’s standards, so many people should be able to sing it comfortably in the original key.
Heads, be sure to add it to your repertoire.
APT.ROSÉ & Bruno Mars
This ambitious work effectively combines the essences of pop and rock, fusing Korean youth culture with a global sound.
The distinctive vocals of Rosé and Bruno Mars blend beautifully, skillfully conveying the exhilaration of a party and the anticipation of romance.
Released in October 2024, it held the top spot on the Billboard Global 200 for nine consecutive weeks.
In November of the same year, it had its first live performance at the 2024 MAMA Awards held in Osaka, captivating the audience.
With a rhythm that makes you want to move and a chant-like chorus, this track is perfect for dance performances.
If you’re looking to create choreography with friends or seeking a song to present at an event, this is a great pick.
